    exploding batteries

    Like many here I bought a pair. I've been in touch with the dealer. They claim they have not heard from the poster but the posting was scary enough that they took the model off their site. They also told me the Excellerator batteries are made by Gold Peak. I've had dealings with GP. They are one...

    I call it CHROME

    Because of the small size and height of the button it looks like repeated use would make for a sore finger. Can you source or make a larger convex or concave metal button cover and recess the switch hardware?

    DSE-905 6 volt

    Farcry; You're courting explosion and/of fire by mixing batteries and by running unprotected batteries down to where they stop producing. I would recommend reading up on Li battery safety. You'll find much written by the model airplane and flashlight hobbyist guys. Google's your friend. In case...

    DO you play guitar?

    From the pics people use for avatars, looks like there are nearly as many guitar players as there are dog owners. Me; I play drums well, keyboards badly. Wish I had taken melodic instruments seriously when I was young. HawaiiVapor: Are you on Kona side or Hilo side?

    More tobacco flavor concentrate

    Sorry you've had that experience. Personally, I would have contacted the vendor to hear their take on it before canceling the charge. I'm curious what they would say about the flavoring they shipped you. I've been pretty happy with a tobacco flavoring product from Flavorings - Concentrated for...

    would this work for the T-tip

    The only socially acceptable solution that has worked for me nearly as well as a hypodermic syringe is this somewhat squeezable bottle that stores a half once and has an aluminum cap with an integral needle. It works well for filling carts as well. 3 pack Precision Oiler - Needle Tip Oiler...

    Smoking Everywhere V. FDA Daily Docket Sheet Update--APPEAL's COURT ISSUES STAY

    Since there's no photos in the WSJ article, does anyone here have the skills to draw a sketch of the evil FDA bureaucrats in their black hats with Big Tobacco and Big Pharma dollars bulging from the pockets of their long black coats? Daggers in their hands and dead and dying citizens left in...

    Where's Richie???

    Don't worry! He's just waiting by the gates of his estate for the arrival of the string quartet who are to accompany the box opening and for James Earl Jones who is to narrate the play by play of the Super PV's assembly;-)

    Whats that Grey crap on my s6?

    Thank you for your concern David. I didn't know BE112s had a different threading standard. My HV 801's may have a defective threading. They were from EastMall's pilot batch. I've PM'ed Di, their English speaking rep, and am waiting for a reply. So as not to bore everyone else, I'll e-mail you...

    HV atomizers - Di or anyone try them yet?

    Hi Di, Are you back working for EastMall? You may remember in another thread right after the HV atomizers came out, I mentioned that the threads on the early HV801s I received were a bit tight such that on my VP2 it felt like I was possibly re-cutting or stretching the threads. I believe you...

    Whats that Grey crap on my s6?

    Yes, thank you David. It came late yesterday. Beautiful. Ordered mine without mirror polishing as I'm not that neat a guy and was concerned about fingerprints. The graining is finer than I've ever been able to get from the metal shop I use without getting hot spots. Do you use a timesaver or...

    Whats that Grey crap on my s6?

    David; I believe you've previously recommended silver conductive grease. Are you saying this is preferable?

    JamesBond Pipe!?

    I like it but could do without the LED tip. I'll bet that the fit and finish aren't up to western standards. From the name and your suggestion to leave it at home, I thought it would be something more like:

    Canadian DIYers: Everclear in Canada?

    When I was briefly a 16 year old hippy / street person in Montreal in the 60s there was a liquid the drunks bought called something like "alcools." If I'm remembering right, it had a higher proof than anyone sane would drink straight. Does this still exist? Even then, I don't believe one could...

    I call it CHROME

    Normal repetitive triggering will create finger tip pain from the size and shape of the switch.

    More tobacco flavor concentrate

    They have a demon for a logo and call the liquid Wicked. Do they have some attachment to Totally Wicked? If not, I would expect this to make some attorney quite happy.

    Apple tablet maybe minutes away!!!

    I get it! Its an Apple Newton with a color screen;-) Seriously, I'm an anti-apple kind'a guy but I'll probably buy one of these. What do you mean; no flash? It has to in order to render many sites.

    FlavourArt Virginia Tobacco Flavoring??

    Regarding soak method tobacco straining; if you don't have a gold coffee filter, I would bet that a paint strainer would work quite well for a first pass. Here in Hawaii, those of us not stuck on tradition use them for straining kava before drinking it. Much like with tobacco flavoring, we...

    Vaping time on LiPO4 CR2's?

    Thank you. I have checked at different points through the cycle. What's weird here is that the two batteries will track identically until the end and then one will nose-dive. Also, fresh off the charger, one will be a bit high, around 3.56v while the other is 3.47v. If I then let them sit for 20...

    Vaping time on LiPO4 CR2's?

    Thanks. Summit's sending me a replacement pair. BTW: they just heard about the buzz, good and bad on our forum and they're concerned. They are contacting the battery factory in China for more info and have taken the batteries off their site even though the party with the blowup hasn't...
